Chapter Ninety-Seven: Su Chi Smokes and Gets Drunk
The official ladies who were originally present didn't feel anything, but as soon as Yun Qingyan's words came out, they reacted instantly.
That's right, the third princess seemed to be saying that the eldest princess didn't understand etiquette just now, but the identity of the eldest princess was there after all, and no matter what, they should go to salute and say hello. When the third princess said this, not only did it not reflect that the eldest princess did not understand etiquette, but it seemed that she was accusing them.
Yun Xiyue frowned, "Sister Huang is really good at provoking!" ”
"Isn't that what the third sister meant?" Yun Qingyan was stunned for a moment, "Or did the third sister take the initiative to say hello to every official lady after she came in just now?" ”
Yun Xiyue's face froze, she naturally wouldn't do this. Not to mention that there were so many people present after all, and she had been paying attention to Yun Qingyan since she came in just now, whether she had the time to say hello to those people anywhere.
"The courtiers have seen the eldest princess." An official lady who was closer to Yun Qingyan stepped forward and saluted.
After saluting, he glanced at Yun Xiyue, but he didn't say anything, let alone salute. Not to mention that the mother concubines of the third princess have been sent to the cold palace, and they are unwilling to salute her in the face of what she just said.
"You're welcome, just be casual, don't be so restrictive." The clouds cleared the smoke and fell into a generous opening.
With such a beginning, many young ladies from official families came to salute Yun Qingyan one after another, but they also ignored Yun Xiyue.
Yun Xiyue originally just wanted to taunt Yun Qingyan, but she didn't expect that the person who couldn't receive the humiliation in the end was herself, so she could only grit her teeth and turn back to her seat with hatred.
After another while, Emperor Yun and the envoys of the Dongyang Kingdom finally arrived.
The leader of the envoys of the Dongyang Kingdom was Prince Mu, who looked to be about forty years old. The smile was full of kindness and heartiness, and the two of them walked in with Emperor Yun, looking quite happy during the conversation.
After everyone got up and finished saluting and everyone was seated, the banquet officially began.
In the final analysis, the protagonists of such a banquet are the envoys of the place and between the two countries, as well as some ministers. Yun Qingyan only planned to eat and drink, and mixed up the whole banquet.
After all, she was the eldest princess, so she was naturally sitting in the first row, and the person sitting diagonally opposite her happened to be windy and cold.
Yun Qingyan drank the wine in the cup slowly, looking at the wind and cold on the other side, today's wind and cold is a white robe, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.
But I don't know why, Yun Qingyan always felt that Feng Yihan didn't seem to be so happy.
Maybe he was too engrossed, Feng Yihan soon noticed Yun Qingyan's gaze, raised the wine glass in his hand, and saluted Yun Qingyan from afar.
Yun Qingyan came back to his senses and also raised his wine glass.
And the movements between them fell into the eyes of a young man sitting next to Prince Mu, on his ordinary face, a pair of eyes were extremely sharp, and he glanced at Yun Qingyan and Feng Yihan, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a meaningful smile.
After half of the wine, Emperor Yun and Prince Mu finally chatted about the competition between the two countries.
According to the rules of previous years, Dongyang's envoy would stay in Chu Yunguo for half a month, and after ten days, the competition between the two countries would begin.
"I don't know what talents Emperor Yun plans to send to fight this year?" Prince Mu smiled and spoke.
"Hahahaha, the envoy of your country will naturally know about it at that time. In the same way, I am also very curious about what kind of talented and learned people Prince Mu brought with him this time. Emperor Yun held the wine glass and smiled happily.
"It seems that Emperor Yun is planning to keep it secret, but it's okay to wait until ten days later, when the competition comes, we will have a friendly exchange between our two countries and compete with each other." Prince Mu paused again, "But your country's Feng Taifu has only learned people, this time Feng Taifu won't participate in the competition again, right?" ”
"Prince Mu guessed wrong, this time I won't participate." Feng Yihan had a faint smile on his face, and he opened his mouth not warmly but not detached.
"That's a shame." Prince Mu pretended to sigh, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
In the past, as long as Feng Yihan participated, they would definitely lose in Dongyang Kingdom, but this time they came prepared, and Feng Yihan did not participate, and this year it seems that they have a great chance of winning.
How could Emperor Yun not be able to see the other party's thoughts, but naturally he didn't say anything, just smiled and continued to drink.
After a banquet, it was full of guests and hosts. It's just that behind this happy laughter, how much is true and how much is false, who can say clearly.
At the end of the banquet, Yun Qingyan drank a few more glasses of wine, only to feel a little dizzy, so he was accompanied by Qiu'er and walked to the imperial garden, thinking about blowing the wind to wake up.
"Princess, didn't the emperor say before that he wanted the princess to participate in the competition, but today at the banquet, why didn't he mention a word?"
Qiu'er was a little confused, after all, the princess had been practicing calligraphy seriously during this time, preparing for the competition. If the princess can't participate at that time, won't all the hard work during this time be in vain?
"The competition between the two countries, although it seems to be just a competition, is nothing. But after all, it is still about the face between the two countries, and how to determine the candidate depends on the final meaning of the father. ”
Yun Qingyan looked at the lotus pond in front of him, but since Feng Yihan had already said it, he thought that this matter should be inseparable.
"Princess, the slave maid didn't see Miss Liu at today's banquet, do you think it could be that the Queen Mother disliked Miss Liu because of the previous incident, so she didn't let her come to participate?"
"It's right that she didn't come to the banquet today, because of the previous incident, her father didn't have a good impression of her, and now at this juncture, if she appears in front of her father again, I'm afraid that she will continue to recall her father's memory." Yun Qingyan smiled and looked at the lotus flowers in the night in front of him, "In case it really incurs the disgust of my father, not to mention whether I can participate in this competition, I am afraid that it will be more troublesome when I make some ideas in the future." ”
Yun Qingyan's voice was crisp and calm, but the lotus in front of him gradually became dull.
It seems that she drank a lot today, and was blown by the wind this night, although she was a little sober just now, but now the dizziness of the whole person is becoming clearer and clearer.
"Qiu'er, let's go back." Yun Qingyan turned around, but suddenly stumbled under his feet, and the whole person fell towards the lotus pond.
"Princess!" Qiu'er was shocked, and hurriedly reached out to grab Yun Qingyan, but her foot slipped and she probably didn't pull it, but fell into the lotus pond with Yun Qingyan.
Suddenly choking on a large mouthful of water, Yun Qingyan only felt that the consciousness of the whole person became more and more dim, and even forgot about the struggle.
On the opposite side of the lotus pond, the white robe flew over, and Feng Yihan stepped on the lotus leaf to the lotus pond as fast as possible, stretched out his hand and grabbed Yun Qingyan, and pulled her whole person up from the lotus pond. And Feng Qing, who came later, also hurriedly rescued Qiu'er.
